Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

At this moment, Tang San was full of confidence. Relying on Tang Sect techniques, he believed he could definitely kill Guimei!

All he lacked now was an opportunity.

The Extreme North—this was truly a forbidden zone for humans.

Other forbidden zones were mainly dangerous because of the strength of the soul beasts. Entering them was practically a death sentence for humans.

But the Extreme North was different. Not only were there powerful soul beasts, but the environment itself was extremely harsh. Even soul masters could freeze to death here if their cultivation wasn't high enough.

As for ordinary people, survival was entirely out of the question.

"If it weren't for Yang Wudi, I might've already become a Title Douluo by now."

"No matter. After I break through to Title Douluo, I'll still need to strengthen myself further. At that time, refining them to boost my power won't be a bad option."

Tang San still hadn't given up on refining the four affiliated clans. In his eyes, those traitors deserved to be refined.

They were just traitors. So what if they were once called his father's most loyal subordinates? So what if they were referred to as great-uncles? Their talent was poor, and they'd already hit their limits at Soul Douluo.

Why not just let him complete their purpose?

By fulfilling his potential through them, he could carry the bloodline of the four clans and reach supreme greatness.

The cold did nothing to freeze Tang San's heart—instead, it only made it burn hotter.

Everything he thought and planned was for his own rise, and to reshape the world into something better. Ideally, something that could become his personal backyard.

Only then could he feel a sense of belonging.

He wasn't originally from this world. Since he had crossed over, if he couldn't leave his mark, if he couldn't leave Tang Sect's mark, then what was the point of it all?

Tang Sect would become world-renowned, and he—Tang San—would surely become a god!

"Kong, wait for me. When I reach the peak, I will drag you down from your divine pedestal and destroy your followers!"

"No… I'll pass your godhood to my kin or descendants. After all, your god position isn't weak."

"I'll give it to an obedient dog… and control the entire Douluo Continent…"

Thinking this, the corners of Tang San's mouth lifted slightly.

In the original work, he did just that.

The Gods of Destruction and Life had sacrificed themselves for the Divine Realm, temporarily entrusting their positions to Tang San. In the end, he passed the divine thrones to his own people.

Even though Huo Yuhao was clearly the chosen one of fate, Tang San schemed against him using his own daughter, and their love had to be approved by Tang San himself.

If Tang San disapproved, Huo Yuhao was powerless.

In Tang San's divine circle, only the Tang family was worthy. If someone wasn't connected to him, no matter what godhood they held, he'd calculate them into oblivion.

The God of Life had just blessed his daughter Tang Wutong, but immediately after, Tang San schemed against that couple.

In this way, Tang San and Xiao Wu were quite compatible. Though in this lifetime, they hadn't ended up together.

To Tang San, unification was a mistake.

Only through constant war and endless depletion of potential god-level soul masters could his path to godhood be secured.

The Douluo Continent had multiple chances for unification, but each one was blocked by Tang San in some form.

The first was the Spirit Empire.

Tang San had a grudge with Spirit Hall—seeking revenge was understandable.

But after destroying the Spirit Empire, he never took on the responsibilities they had handled.

Evil soul masters ran rampant. Even the awakening of martial spirits among commoners became difficult.

The second was the Heaven Dou Empire.

After defeating the Spirit Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire's power far exceeded that of the Star Luo Empire.

But Tang San made Xue Beng destroy all the Zhuge Divine Crossbows and forbade any attack on the Star Luo Empire for the next hundred years.

Xue Beng was merely a low-ranked soul master. A century? By then, he'd be dust, and his descendants would be useless.

This was mainly because Star Luo had ties to Dai Mubai—understandable.

The third time—Sun Moon Empire...

Gods were not allowed to interfere in the mortal world—that was the Divine Realm Committee's rule. Yet Tang San broke the law knowingly, using Juzi's child to threaten her...

He forced the Sun Moon Empire to rename itself Star Luo Empire, and renamed Tianhun, Douling, and Star Luo into Heaven Dou Empire, recreating the standoff from ten thousand years ago...

As long as the Douluo Continent didn't develop too quickly, Tang San could keep steering it with his ideals, making sure it would never rise again.

Even after the Divine Realm was swept away by space-time turbulence, Tang San continued to manipulate plans set in motion ten thousand years prior.

"And then there's Xiao Wu!"

Suddenly, Tang San thought of Xiao Wu's alluring figure. For the first time, he had those kinds of thoughts.

He still needed her hundred-thousand-year spirit bone—but he could just learn from his father Tang Hao!

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form… wasn't impossible.

Perhaps this strange fixation was inherited from the Tang Hao bloodline, and his descendants had carried it even further.

A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Empress. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. A Silver Dragon King—part of the Dragon God. The Demon Soul Great White Shark…

Come to think of it, can't he just find an actual human?

"Hmph. As long as I'm overwhelmingly stronger—why not?"

Tang San let out a wicked chuckle, the corners of his lips rising, his eyes filled with anticipation.

It wasn't until Xiao Wu ambushed him that he realized the mysterious "Wu Mei" from the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament's Purple Star Team… was Xiao Wu!

What puzzled him was—she had appeared in Spirit Hall's base, yet none of the Title Douluo had detected her!

Her cultivation had only been in the 40s at the time. How had she hidden her presence?

Good thing she hadn't been discovered, or else… how could he still have a chance...

"This Tang San is truly twisted… I don't even know what's going on in that head of his. That smile of his is creepier than mine."

Guimei shook his head, muttering with a hint of speechlessness.

At this moment, he had no idea.

His longtime partner and close friend was already making his way to the Icebound Forest. If he couldn't find Guimei there, only then would he enter the Extreme North.

But the Extreme North was vast. To locate a single person here was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even with a soul connection, a meeting would still take time.

Just as the thought passed—

Boom, boom…

The ground trembled. Snow burst into the air from the snowy plains. The scene looked stunning, but both Tang San and Guimei's expressions changed.

Just walking caused such tremors—how terrifying must this soul beast's strength be?

Boom…

The ground shook again and again. Guimei and Tang San were no amateurs; both immediately sensed something was wrong.

The frequency of the tremors was inconsistent—sometimes strong, sometimes weak. Clearly, this wasn't just one or two soul beasts.

In the Extreme North, due to the snow and wind, an ordinary person's visibility was only around ten meters. Everything nearby looked hazy, like severe nearsightedness.

Though Tang San and Guimei were powerful and had greater visibility…
